Latest Reality V15.1 & V15.2 UNIX Update Installation Info File
===============================================================
Installation:
=============
The file is delivered as a 'compressed' file to save download time and to verify after the download.
Note: This file must be saved as:
V15.1_recfixes_nnnn.tar.Z (upper case .Z - where nnnn is the update number)
Once loaded onto the target machine use the UNIX ' uncompress V15_recfixes_nnnn.tar.Z ' command to
uncompress the file. The resulting file will be a UNIX tar file - also refer to -z option use below.
This 'tar' file needs to be extracted to a directory, change directory using 'cd' to a suitable
place to hold the multiple file contents of the extracted tar file and then use:
' tar -xvf full_path_name ' to tar file to extract its contents.
For CentOS and other Linux versions that no longer have uncompress as standard but have the -z option use...
... ' tar -xvzf full_path_name '.
Once the 'tar' file has been extracted you are then ready to proceed with the installation.
Use root access to shutdown Reality with a killreal command - all users should be logged off.
To load all updates, whilst logged in as the user 'realman' run:
' install_fix -ay full_path_name ' to directory-of-update-files as created above.
This installs all of the updates, follow prompts, all fixes will be loaded.
... you will be reminded to run DBUPDATE for each database in order to update system files.
Or, individual updates can be loaded using:
' install_fix full_path_name '
and specifying the required update file, i.e. the update number

Notes:
=====
DBUPDATE MUST be run following loading updates.
